Uhura covered her eyes from the blinding light with Spock's Starfleet standard issue socks. To her surprise they actually didn't smell bad, but had a very fresh flowery smell. She took a mental note and promised to ask Spock what detergent he used.

Then, all of a sudden it dawned on her that she wasn't alone. Someone else was in the room with them, besides the sehlat and Spock.

"Who the hell is there?" Uhura asked as she tried to focus on the individual in question.

"It's just me Nyota. I came to see if anyone has seen Jim at all." McCoy asked searching around the room for his companion.

"Damn it, can you dim the lights a bit? I can't see." Uhura asked, annoyed, as she peeked through from the one sock.

"Sure, no problem." McCoy said as he asked the computer to dim the lights to fifty percent.

"Thanks." Uhura said as she slowly removed both socks from her eyes.

"I'm sorry to interrupt. I didn't realize you were engaging in some sort of... well, you know, I didn't think Spock would go for...well...you know..." McCoy stammered, not knowing what else to say.

"What do you mean Doctor McCoy?" Spock asked trying to look composed and failing miserable.

"Never mind." McCoy said, not really wanting to go there.

Uhura realizing what the doctor meant quickly removed Spock's socks from her hands and placed them on the night stand.

"I... it's just a little hole Spock, I can mend that sock no problem."

"I don't understand Nyota." Spock asked perplexed.

Changing the subject Uhura remembered Dr. McCoy's original question about the captain.

"I haven't seen Jim anywhere. Weren't you both on shore leave by the way?"

"We were, but there was a small emergency in sickbay, which was resolved. I told him we would head back to the planet the moment I was done. Now, I can't find him anywhere." McCoy said his voiced laced with worry.

"Are you sure you haven't seen him Spock?" McCoy asked curiously.

"I can assure you that I have not." Spock said, lying through his teeth.

"Damn, where the hell can he be?"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

"Spock, didn't you shut that thing off?" Uhura asked annoyed that Spock had the sehlat still activated.

"What the hell was that? By the way, what do you have under the covers Spock?" McCoy asked not really wanting to know.

"It...it is my sehlat. It is a interactive toy."

"I see. No I don't." McCoy said confused.

"It's a long story Dr. McCoy." Uhura said as she let out a long sigh.

Spock realizing he needed to speak with the good doctor tried to get his attention. He tried to wink his eye in McCoy's direction. McCoy seeing this couldn't figure out why the hobgoblin was hitting on him.

Spock began to cough and cough getting Uhura's attention. "What is it honey?" Uhura asked worried.

"Is it possible...cough...cough. that you get me a glass of water, please."

"Of course, hon. I'll be back right back." As Uhura left to go get water, Spock motioned McCoy in his direction.

"Look Spock, if you want to have kinky sex with socks and an interactive toy that's your business, count me out." McCoy said matter of fact.

"No doctor. It is not that. We don't have much time." Spock said as he quickly peeled the covers from his body.

"Holy mother of god!" McCoy exclaimed as he stared at Jim naked under the sheets.

"As you see, I had no choice but to lie."

"Be careful Spock, do it too often your ears might grow."

Spock touched his ears, just to make sure it was true or not.

"Hi Bones. Are you ready to join the party? I'm having a great time." Jim answered turning around facing up his dick standing at attention.

"Now, I've seen everything."

"Please, Jim, keep your voice down, Uhura will be back."

"No problem. Not a peep." Jim said as he mocked closing his mouth with a key.

"Does Uhura know?" McCoy asked

"No, she does not and I wish her not to."

"Well, I don't know how long you'll be able to keep that up."

"It has been difficult so far."

"I can imagine." McCoy said.

"We need to get Nyota to leave so I can remove Jim from my room. Will you help me doctor?"

"I'll do what I can. Not sure how we're going to get her to leave?"

"I hear her." Spock almost shouted as he quickly covered Jim again with the covers.

"I got your water honey. So, did I miss anything while I was gone?"

McCoy and Spock just stared at each other while Jim began to lick Spock's inner thigh. Things were just beginning to heat up.
